Chapter 152: with translation of chapter title

After Ya Li finished reading, they returned the proposal to me

Chairman, inviting Da Yi Ge—isn't that too tacky?

I said: "Now ordinary people like him, Da Yi Ge's popularity is strong. I heard that as long as he holds a concert, every show sells out."

I also like Da Yi Ge; he comes from a farming background.

After becoming famous, he never forgot his farming roots.

We must definitely invite Da Yi Ge.

"I also like it, the endless Yangtze River flows eastward..." Shi Yong sang from the side.

Whenever Shi Yong sings, everyone becomes restless.

I hurried to stop Shi Yong's loud singing.

Ya Li laughed: "Yong Ge, this mouth really has that flavor. Then it's settled; since you all like him, we'll invite Da Yi Ge."

In this proposal, the other performers are fine; it should cause a sensation in Zaocheng.

I want to ask what ticket price we should set.

I said: "Leave this to Xiao Fang at Zaocheng TV station; they've always handled this, and they'll decide the ticket price."

We only care about how to sell big at launch.

"Dad, our Guanghua Garden has an advantage: the future Zaocheng New Experimental High School is not being built next to us, and this must be publicized—Zaocheng Experimental High School is the best high school in the city, attending it is equivalent to getting into college. This is our selling point," Sun Dajun said from the side.

"This is just a plan; we don't know when it will be built. If it isn't built, we'd be engaging in false advertising." I said.

"Chairman, whether this plan gets built is the city's matter, not ours; homebuyers can only resent the city, not bother us, so we should boldly publicize it. We should promote it fully on the website, TV, and streets." Ya Li said.

"Alright then, I'll leave this publicity to you. Ya Li, you must ensure the publicity is thorough." I said.

"Okay, I'll take it; I once handled publicity at the Southern Group." Ya Li said.

Sun Dajun immediately said: "Ya Li, with you joining our group, I feel our group will soon improve. You're amazing."

"Enough, stop praising me; thanks to the chairman's good leadership, you hurry to find someone to set the launch date. Then we can start preparing the other work." Ya Li arranged for Sun Dajun.

After hearing Ya Li finish speaking, Sun Dajun stood up,

"Okay, I'm off now. At noon, what would you like to eat? I'll take you."

"Let's handle the important matters first; eating isn't important. I need to discuss some things with the chairman." Ya Li said.

Sun Dajun watched Ya Li leave reluctantly.

"Damn, just parting for a moment, we're both unwilling—this Sun Dajun has completely captivated Ya Li."

After Sun Dajun left,

Ya Li directly asked me: "Chairman, there's still an important matter unresolved."

I said: "What matter?"

Ya Li said: "The bank—Zaocheng Bank has run into trouble; we can no longer cooperate with them. I must switch to another bank. I believe many customers will take out loans to buy homes, so this bank is crucial."

Exactly, after Ya Li reminded me, I suddenly remembered.

If customers take out loans to buy homes, how can we do it without bank support?

When customers take loans, the bank provides us the principal and collects interest. This is truly important.

Zaocheng Bank is still under investigation. If we continue cooperating with them, how will we collect our receivables if we can't?

I looked at Ya Li gratefully,

"Ya Li, thank you for the reminder. I forgot this important matter, focusing only on selling houses. Without bank support, we're still stuck."

"Chairman, don't be so polite. Working with you, being able to help is also my honor. Just, do you have a suitable bank to recommend so we can discuss in advance?" Ya Li asked.

Ya Li's question left me speechless.

Our cooperation with the bank mainly depends on leadership's decision. We've always worked with Zaocheng Bank, entirely due to Kong Shi's arrangement.

We have never contacted other banks.

I know those bank presidents, but we haven't had deep relations.

Banks without deep ties are risky.

Moreover, we are now aggressively selling houses; if Kong Shi really gets angry, a single word could have the bank freeze our accounts.

We'll just be busy for nothing.

Gazing at my thoughtful self,

Ya Li laughed,

"Chairman, I have a bank I'd like to recommend to you."

"Is it from the Southern Group?" I asked.

"No, it's also local, not far—Huaihai Bank. It's also a strong local bank." Ya Li said.

"Huaihai Bank—I've never dealt with it. Ya Li, are you familiar with them?" I said, looking at Ya Li.

"I'm not familiar with this bank, but someone is—you know, it was recommended by Niu Ju. Chairman, I've heard Niu Ju is very familiar with the bank's president.

If we don't find a suitable bank, we could consider meeting and chatting with this bank's president." Ya Li said.

"Niu Ju recommended it," I muttered.

"Yes, for the sake of fund safety. We're currently selling houses under unfavorable conditions; without bank support, our work is very passive." Ya Li said.

I nodded, indicating agreement with Ya Li's opinion.

At this moment, Shi Yong said from the side: "This time, we won't let customers take loans; they must pay in full. That's safe—all-cash transactions."

"Keeping money in the bank worries me. Damn, these banks are corrupt as hell."

After Shi Yong finished speaking, Ya Li remained silent.

I then said: "Shi Yong, that's unrealistic—what year is it now? Who has that much cash to buy a house? Most people rely on loans. If we can't offer loans, it means our procedures aren't complete, and people wouldn't dare to buy."

What Ya Li said is important; the bank matter is a major issue.

Ya Li, how about this: you contact Niu Ju; I want to meet and discuss with the president of Huaihai Bank.

Ya Li said: "This is simple; I'll contact right away."

Ya Li took out her phone and directly contacted Niu Ju,

Niu Ju quickly replied on the phone; in the evening he made an appointment, asking me to go and meet that Huaihai Bank's Bank Manager together.

Ya Li hung up the phone,

She told me: "Chairman, I've already arranged it; Niu Ju tonight specially arranged for you to meet that Bank Manager."

The appointment is at Golden Light Hotel.

I said: "Then we'll go together."

Ya Li said: "Chairman, we won't go then; this kind of thing you decide yourself."

I said: "Ya Li, you must go; your opinion is very important."

"Alright then, tonight I'll go with Da Jun." Ya Li laughed.

I said to Shi Yong: "Shi Yong, you go too; in case Niu Ju insists on drinking again, I'm really afraid."

Shi Yong laughed heartily: "As for drinking, no need to ask; I guarantee they won't come back."

At this moment Ya Li stood up,

"Chairman, I'm going back to the finance office first; I haven't handled work for several days."

I said to Ya Li: "Ask Liu, those ledgers are missing; a few days ago Ruan Wei came and took our ledgers."

"This Ruan Wei is overbearing; in the Southern Group nobody dares provoke him. I didn't expect to suffer a big loss in Zaocheng."

"We must be careful of him." Ya Li said.

"Don't be afraid of him; I heard from Niu Ju that after he came out he brought people back to the Southern Group. This kid suffered a setback here; probably he doesn't dare come back to the Southern Group." I said laughing.
